Jewish Community Should Realize Reiisonableness Of Israel's Position
Israel Celebrafiofl Continues Sunday
900 Hear Kahatie
Over nine hundred peoi^e, including many college students, packed the Beth Jacob Synagogue and auditorium to hear Rabbi Mdr Kahan^, Chairman of the Jewish Defense League, speak at' the Annual Memorial meeting in memory of the six million Jevfs killed during World War II by the N:azis. Speaking in a cool and moderate tone the con¬ troversial head of J.D.li. blasted the Roosevelt Ad¬ ministration for not bombing tte rail lines leading to Aukiiwitz. He blamed the then Jewish leadership of the Nat io na I.Jewish Organizations for not being militant. He said the Jewish leadership were content merdy With having "forty- five minutes of interview with the resident of the White . House, and all they received, 'were sympathy and more
sympathy.
"We kniew of Aushwitz and we could have saved hun¬ dreds of thousands of lives, had we (tone all we could have done to insist that those rail lines be bombed. It is not enough to merdy blame the allies for not bombing Aush¬ witz. The question is what did we do to insist that they bomb the rail linens leading to Aushwitz, and the death camps area? What did we do vihen vire.knew that every single day, 12,000 Jews wrae being gassed? Everyday, as we had oUr particular simchas, a bar mitzvah, a wedding, we sang and we danced, and we enjoyed the good life, and every sunrise there were 12,000 less Jews than the previous sUnrise. It is true that Jewish leader¬ ship went to Franklin Roosevelt and asked that he bomb the railroads, and it is also true that he said that it

course: "The Quality of i Jewish Life." ' [ Mrs. B.W. Abramson, loutgoing president, says of Ithis newly formed Women's
Division, "Representing the concerns of all women of the Jewish Community, its purpose is to study and evaluate the cpiality of our own Jewish community in order to Vecommend the kinds of qualitative changes which every dynamic, vital society needs."

Let it not be saidv that President Rooseyelt "did not sympatliize.'.''He always "sympathized-" And we went home, my Jewish leaders went home, tiecause after all, if the President says 60, then what more can be done, and more than two million Jews died in Aushwitz." "Not one Jewish leader of the. Jewish Establishment called 100,000 Jews into Washington, D.C. and sat down on the street, and said arrest us, we are not moving, and if these leaders woidd have induded . the head of B'nai B'rith, the American Jewish Com¬ mittee, and the American Jewish Congress and the Reform rabbinate, and the^ Conservative Rabbinate, and the Orthodox Rabbinate, the rail lines would have been bombed and lives would have been saved." "And the (]uestion therefore rises, why; did we not do what should have been done? And the answer to that.is the same answer that you must give to that Jewish leader who when speaking of Soviet Jewry says "be careful, don't be too militant, because you make! things worse for them thereZ'Jon't; bdieve hinj,
